[scooby555t]

hi there i was wondering how far can i push a q9550
running at 3.4 atm temps idle 36 36 37 and 39 on full load temps arn't going above 41 on all cores, need some advise as am new to quads

new chip so if i can hit the 3.8 4.0 i'll be happy running on a asus p5q e dulux mobo and blackdragan ram i'll have a little fiddle when its seated itself in so far quite impressed

if i can get 4 i'll run the ram at stock settings becuse the cpu i had before was a e6300 o/c to 3.62 same mobo same ram ram was running at 1. somthin volts
i'll play with it in a few days time and will post my results

emm not sure about the chip i know its 95watt 1 lol

sweet am running at 1.117 or somthing atm

sound found out why my systems been blue screening not enough volts so going for 4ghz maybe tomorrow once the ac 5 has bedded in

 

[scooby555t]

how long should i leave it before i try the magic 4ghz ? its prime stable at 3.60 ghz

lol i only fitted the chip yesterday found out its a eo version and its a a stepping if that makes any sence to any1
ok just did a fsb of 500 with the mutiplyer at 8.5 it started windows then crashed lol 4.27 ghz lol

ive got a p45mobo i hut 3.8 aswell am going to fiddle with different settings and see if i can hit it thanks for the info about the cpu wall

 

[scooby555t]

ah ok will give it a try out today at some point

 

[scooby555t]

notice you don't have a core voltage in cpu-z lol looks quite am impressive clock am quite happy at 3.6 at 1.184 volts managed 3.65 at the same so that will do me

ok hut 4ghz but temps are gettin quite high just after a few seconds of prime highest was 75* so i though id better stop, think i might invest in water setup
